[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

All the filters that are forked by pdftops do not have orientation
information as it is stripped by pdftops filter.

cups/filter/pdftops internally forks either CUPS_PDFTOPS or
CUPS_GHOSTSCRIPT. The argument passed to it is pdf_argv which does not
have any info about orientation if fit is not set.

Later "cups/filter/pstops" is forked and argument passed is pstops_argv.
pstops_argv[5]= pstops_options

Since landscape and orientation-requested options are striped from
pstops_options, pstops_argv does not have any information about
orientation.

If we don't strip landscape/orientation-requested option from
pstops_options then pstops filter knows about orientation and PDF gets
printed in whatever orientation user specifies.
